	This episode is all re-used, from 'Prison songs', 'Love is',
'Windows', and 'The loved one, remix'/'Lover man'

	Joe recounts falling in love with a woman walking by, pulling
a cello.  He imagines growing old together.  After she passes he's
relieved she got out while there was still time.  (originally aired in
'Love is')
	2:40: 'Love is like being ground to death in a huge coffee
mill...' - Joe analogizes love with a series of gruesome images.
(originally aired in 'Love is')
	5:40: 'They say that love is more precious than the air we
breathe...' - Joe lists things we say love is more precious than.
(originally aired in 'Windows')
	9:00: Joe describes a meeting of 'Love anonymous'.
(originally aired in 'Windows')
	15:40: Joe appeals to a woman he saw at the Laemmle Theatre in
Santa Monica at a viewing of 'Breaking the waves' to contact him.
(Carl Laemmle was the founder of Universal Studios.  A chain of movie
theatres in southern California bear his name.)  He left his umbrella
behind; when he went back to retrieve it she had it for him.  Joe was
barely able to speak, he's so taken with her.  He imagines their life
together.  Joe wants her to call KCRW, leave her name and number.
(originally aired in 'The loved one, remix'/'Lover man')
	24:20: 'Love is an old man fishing off a bridge...' - Joe
describes this fellow, his memories of surviving a bombing in Baghdad.
A rude couple stops, asks for directions; he doesn't answer; a giant
catfish pulls the guy into the water.  The woman has a geological
survey map.  The guy takes his sandwich.  The woman does her business
in the bushes, wipes herself with poison ivy.  (originally aired in
'Windows')
	34:50: Joe recounts his breakup with Darlene, the awful things
they did to each other.  Joe imagines dismembering Darlene, making
ornaments from her body parts.  (originally aired in 'Prison songs')
	37:40: Joe lists all the people who need love.  (originally
aired in 'Prison songs')
	39:30: Joe lists more analogies for love, how necessary and
irreplaceable it is.  He addresses Darlene, how much he misses her.
(originally aired in 'Prison songs')
	46:20: Joe recounts walking along the ocean, coming upon an
orchestra, dressed-up people dancing, waiters, champagne.  A
helicopter lands, lets out a man in top hat and tails who comes to the
microphone, explodes, killing everyone but Joe.  Joe returns to his
hotel, pours a shot of scotch, pours it out into the pool.
(originally aired in 'Prison songs')

poor student; the teacher struck him when he made a mistake.  He
developed migraines as a result.  Years later he started therapy with
a psychiatrist.  She and Joe fell in love, made a suicide pact, which
she honored but Joe did not.  (originally aired in 'Prison songs')
